I'm here to share my second layout for Shimmerz Paints for August. It's a very simple layout today.

Beauty

I just love this picture I took of my daughter a few years ago. She looks like a little model, with the wind in her hair.

To match my picture and my paper, I chose to use two sprays: Jeni B Bleu Vibez and Plum Pudding Spritz. I applied Jeni B Bleu first, with a brush, making sure to dry it before applying the Plum Pudding color.

I used those same colors to make some drops around my composition, to add interest.

On my title chipboard, I used white gesso and when it was dry, I painted some Jeni B Bleu Vibez ink on it, to match.

I started out with the beautiful Meadows of Time paper from the Sanctuary collection, by Blue Fern Studios. I primed it with clear gesso.

I wanted to use some embossing paste, but I didn't have the right color, so I created my own mix using some white texture paste and two Vibez colors: Don't Be Suede and Glorious Day. I spread this home made paste through a checkered stencil and freely with a palet knife. I love the result.

To add more color to my layout, I used the Well Blue Me Down Coloringz. I love its bright color.

It was pretty, but I thought something was missing, so I used the Under My Skin Shimmerz to make some drops. It just tie everything together.

Some white paint drops, some stamping, some embellishing (I used the Grid Pieces chipboards from Blue Fern Studios), a title (the French Adjectives 1, also from Blue Fern Studios), and it was good to go!
